Hello.

I have been using a Lenovo Thinkpad for a couple months and having to 
press ctrl+alt+del keys to login into its Windows 7 so many times as a 
habit. Ever since I got a 15" MacBook Pro (Retina; early 2013), I 
accidently rebooted it with its control+command+power keys on the 
keyboard. Apple used to have its power button away from the keyboard. I 
had to tape over this power key to remind myself not do the magic 
three/3 keys on a Mac to login. Argh. Has anyone had that problem or 
just me? Also, I didn't know you could do a force reboot like that on a 
Mac too.

Thank you in advance. :)
